With this huge storyline underway DTC has said all the cast will be involved it got me thinking with the amount of actors who have starred in the show over the years there must have been some fued's or people that didn't see eye to eye with eachother offscreen . I heard about the Jessie Wallace / Steve McFadden thing & the Shona McGarty/Melissa Suffield but was just wondering who else ?

Really? They seem happy with their successors?
Comments were made a few weeks ago on Twitter from Melissa Suffield and Madeline Duggan, so I just presumed there was some problems there.
Barbara Windsor thought Jesse Wallace was unprofessional so I guess thats where the Steve McFadden thing comes from too?
I have also heard that Gillian Taylforth hated Peter Dean and her 'skin would crawl' when she had to kiss him on screen
BIB - Oops, didn't see this!
The cast were however united in their utter hatred of Kathleen Hutchison, who was executive producer in 2004/5 for just four months. Hutchison allegedly tore up several months of scripting, ordered late-night reshoots and axed about 12 characters. Legend has it the cast cheered when they heard she was being sacked.
Aside from June Brown, Anita Dobson and Letitia Dean was there any cast member Leslie did like? he slagged like 50% of his current cast mates off in that webcam incident
According to Barbara, she and Jessie have since made up.
Steve McFadden however allegedly started a petition against her return in 2010. Might explain why they very rarely share scenes.
Jessie Wallace could've been added to that list as well - as someone who didn't get on with Leslie Grantham (from that one could most likely add Shane Richie to that list as well, from what I remember - though both actors first left in 2005, the same year as Dirty Den was written out).
Kat and Phil actually spoke to each in Tuesday's episode (it's very rare for that to happen; in them sharing a scene and some dialogue) - this is reportedly because of friction and tension between Wallace and McFadden which means that they rarely share scenes together (don't want to be quoted on this though - its just what I've picked up over the years).
There was a funny rumour I heard that Hutchinson wanted Denise Van Outen to play the part of Tina, Johnny Allan's girlfriend, she apparently described the part to Denise as being a hungry and money grabbing tart and then said it wouldn't take much for Denise to get into that character
They had that scene together in 2012 when Phil threatened to chuck them out the Vic so Kat paid a visit to Phil's house and persuaded him to let them stay by admitting she had been having an affair and that they took off for the sake of there marriage.
Yes I've heard that too. Allegedly the description Hutchison used was a 'ball-busting bitch'
Maybe they have for appearances sake.
Sometimes they have shared scenes yes, it's true - it's pretty rare, though (even from what I've seen whilst watching).
The Moon and The Vic link has meant Kat has had to interact with Phil occasionally over the years - just can't help noticing it doesn't happen very often, though.
Couldn't believe it when I saw it last night actually - but Phil was in fact sat with his back to Kat - so maybe it doesn't really count as a proper scene and proper dialogue as it wasn't an actual conversation, lol.
Which is that every new female that comes into the show has to go through the obligatory having sex with Philth routine.
Which hasn't happened in this case (surprisingly as you say) - Kat had missed out on that particular highlight - and now she isn't new enough, anymore to have to go through it lol (and it looks like the viewers will be spared it now, anyway - thank goodness).
He probably just took his 'mothers' side as always with Phil, the mummys boy.
